Thing is, owners would have lost $180 million in 10 days but how much of that ends up back in their pockets? Last year the league as a whole made $125 million in profit on 3 billion in revenue. That would mean that they lose $720,000 in profit per day.

Yeah, but you have to realize the owners of the teams that bleed money are saving money right now by not playing hockey. Those are the guys that are going to make sure the league sticks to it's guns to make sure they get what they want. That being said, I say we don't see NHL hockey until September.
